Abstract

The method involves placing a finishing cover (4) i.e. plastic-coated fabric cover, into a mold, and injecting a layer of flexible plastic material (2) over a flexible foam layer (3) of the cover. Rigid raising elements i.e. relief (11) and rib (12), are formed on the flexible plastic material layer in each of zones to be rigidified, where the zones belong to a piece of equipment i.e. armrest. A rigid support (1) is formed by the rigid raising elements such that an empty space (6) is formed between the flexible plastic material layer and the rigid support. An independent claim is also included for a piece of equipment.

Description

"Pièce d'équipement avec ressenti souple". "Piece of equipment with soft feeling".

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une pièce d'équipement ayant un ressenti souple ainsi qu'une pièce d'équipement réalisée selon ce procédé. Certaines pièces d'équipement utilisées dans des véhicules automobiles doivent à la fois présenter une certaine souplesse et être rigides. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a piece of equipment having a flexible feel and a piece of equipment made according to this method. Some pieces of equipment used in motor vehicles must be both flexible and rigid.

En effet, des pièces d'équipement telles que, par exemple, les accoudoirs, doivent présenter une certaine souplesse au titre d'un confort et d'un bien-être que l'utilisateur du véhicule doit ressentir en s'appuyant sur cette pièce. De plus, de telles pièces d'équipement doivent présenter une certaine souplesse pour éviter que quelqu'un se blesse lorsqu'il touche la pièce d'équipement de manière imprévue et notamment avec l'élan d'un mouvement brusque. En même temps, de telles pièces d'équipement doivent présenter une certaine rigidité afin d'assurer le maintien de leur forme et, parfois aussi, pour protéger l'utilisateur du véhicule. Habituellement, la réalisation de telles pièces d'équipement passe par une méthode de collage appelée aussi gainage. Selon cette méthode, on applique de la colle sur une surface rigide sur laquelle on pose ensuite de la mousse. Puis, on applique à nouveau de la colle, cette fois-ci sur la mousse, pour y poser un tissu de revêtement. L'inconvénient de cette méthode est principalement l'écrasement de la couche de mousse dans les rayons dû à la tension appliquée au tissu de revêtement afin de réussir l'opération de collage. Le but de l'invention est de proposer une technique simple permettant de remédier aux inconvénients présentés ci-avant. Le but de l'invention est atteint avec un procédé de fabrication d'une pièce d'équipement comprenant un support rigide destiné à être recouvert d'au moins une couche souple et d'un revêtement de finition, selon lequel on place dans un moule d'abord le revêtement de finition, puis on injecte sur le revêtement de finition une couche de matière plastique souple constituant la couche souple et on dispose ensuite sur la couche de matière plastique souple, dans la ou dans chacune des zones de la pièce qui doivent être moins souples, au moins un élément rigide de rehaussement. Indeed, pieces of equipment such as, for example, the armrests, must have a certain flexibility as a comfort and a well-being that the user of the vehicle must feel based on this piece . In addition, such pieces of equipment must have flexibility to prevent someone from getting hurt when he touches the piece of equipment unexpectedly and especially with the momentum of a sudden movement. At the same time, such pieces of equipment must have a certain rigidity to maintain their shape and sometimes also to protect the user of the vehicle. Usually, the production of such pieces of equipment goes through a method of bonding also called sheathing. According to this method, glue is applied to a rigid surface on which foam is then placed. Then, glue is applied again, this time on the foam, to lay a coating fabric. The disadvantage of this method is mainly the crushing of the foam layer in the rays due to the tension applied to the coating fabric in order to succeed in the bonding operation. The object of the invention is to provide a simple technique to overcome the disadvantages presented above. The object of the invention is achieved with a method of manufacturing a piece of equipment comprising a rigid support intended to be covered with at least one flexible layer and a finishing coating, according to which it is placed in a mold first the finishing coating, then is injected on the finishing coating a layer of flexible plastic material constituting the flexible layer and is then placed on the layer of flexible plastic material, in or in each of the areas of the room which must be less flexible, at least one rigid element of raising.

Selon le procédé de l'invention, on procède en quelque sorte à l'inverse de ce qui se fait jusqu'à maintenant. On pose donc d'abord le tissu de revêtement dans un moule et on applique sur la face arrière de celui-ci, dans un ordre prédéterminé, les couches de matériau et autres éléments prévus. Selon le mode de réalisation choisi, le procédé peut comprendre également une au moins des caractéristiques supplémentaires suivantes : - on utilise un revêtement de finition muni d'une couche souple sous la forme d'une couche de mousse souple et on injecte sur le revêtement de finition, donc sur sa couche de mousse souple, la couche de matière plastique souple ; - le support rigide comporte deux éléments de rehaussement de façon qu'il y ait partiellement entre la couche de matière plastique souple et le support un espace vide ; - l'ensemble formé par le revêtement de finition, la ou les couches souples et le support est fixé en 30 périphérie sur un panneau. Le but de l'invention est également atteint avec une pièce d'équipement comprenant un support rigide recouvert d'au moins une couche souple et d'un revêtement de finition, la pièce d'équipement comprenant en outre au 35 moins un élément rigide placé à l'intérieur de la pièce, sur la couche souple, dans la ou dans chacune des zones de la pièce qui doivent être moins souples. According to the method of the invention, one proceeds in a manner to the contrary of what has been done until now. The coating fabric is then first laid in a mold and the layers of material and other elements provided are applied to the rear face thereof in a predetermined order. According to the embodiment chosen, the method may also comprise at least one of the following additional features: a finishing coating provided with a flexible layer is used in the form of a layer of flexible foam and is injected onto the coating of finish, so on its soft foam layer, the layer of flexible plastic material; the rigid support comprises two raising elements so that there is partially between the layer of flexible plastic material and the support a void space; the assembly formed by the finishing coating, the flexible layer or layers and the support is fixed peripherally on a panel. The object of the invention is also achieved with a piece of equipment comprising a rigid support covered with at least one flexible layer and a finishing coating, the piece of equipment further comprising at least one rigid element placed inside the room, on the flexible layer, in the or in each of the areas of the room that must be less flexible.

Selon le mode de réalisation choisi, la pièce d'équipement peut comprendre également l'une au moins des caractéristiques supplémentaires suivantes, considérées isolément ou en combinaison : - la couche souple est une couche de matière plastique souple ; - la pièce d'équipement comprend, outre la couche de matière plastique souple, une couche de mousse souple appliquée préalablement au revêtement de finition et disposée ainsi entre le revêtement de finition et la couche de matière plastique souple ; avantageusement, le revêtement de finition a été fabriqué déjà avec la couche de mousse souple. Le but de l'invention est atteint en outre avec un 15 véhicule automobile comprenant une pièce d'équipement telle que décrite ci-avant. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description ci-après d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention. La 20 description est faite en référence aux dessins dont la figure 1 (figure unique) représente une pièce d'équipement selon l'invention en une vue partielle en perspective avec vue sur la face avant de la pièce et sur la structure intérieure de la pièce. 25 Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, la pièce d'équipement, par exemple un accoudoir pour la porte d'un véhicule automobile, comprend un support 1 réalisé en une matière plastique rigide et ayant approximativement la forme de la pièce d'équipement 30 concernée, ici un accoudoir destiné à être monté sur la paroi intérieure d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile. Lorsque la pièce d'équipement est finie, le support 1 est coiffé avec un complexe formé par une couche d'une matière plastique souple 2, par exemple du styrène- 35 éthylène/butylène-styrène (SEBS), donnant à la pièce sa forme précise, une couche d'une mousse souple 3 et un textile de revêtement 4, de préférence un textile enduit plastifié, qui détermine l'aspect esthétique de la pièce d'équipement, notamment par l'aspect de cuir de ce type de textile. Le support 1 comporte respectivement dans sa partie supérieure et dans sa partie inférieure, vu en position d'installation de la pièce d'équipement, des éléments rigides de rehaussement, par exemple une partie 11 en relief et une nervure 12, qui s'étendent sur les zones de la pièce d'équipement qui doivent être moins souples que le reste de la pièce. Grâce à cette structure intérieure selon l'invention, la pièce d'équipement comporte en fait trois unités fonctionnelles, à savoir une coiffe souple ayant la forme de la pièce et 15 déterminant par la couleur et la structure du revêtement, l'aspect esthétique de la pièce, un support relativement moins souple que la coiffe et limitant la déformation de la coiffe, lorsque quelqu'un s'appuie sur la pièce, et 20 un support rigide empêchant la déformation du support souple aux endroits ou dans les zones de la pièce d'équipement où le support rigide est en contact permanent avec le support souple. Pour l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les 25 dessins, cela signifie que la pièce d'équipement comprend une coiffe comprenant le revêtement textile 4 et la couche de mousse souple 3, une couche 2 relativement moins souple en une matière plastique telle que, par exemple, SEBS, et 30 un support 1 en une matière plastique rigide. Le support 1 rigide et la couche souple 2 sont attachés l'un à l'autre par exemple par rivetage ou par soudage. La proéminence des éléments de rehaussement 11, 12 35 du support 1 détermine un espacement 6 entre le support rigide 1 et la couche souple 2, qui correspond à la flexibilité laissée à la couche souple 2 et donc à la pièce d'équipement, dans les zones choisies. La pièce d'équipement est fixée sur un panneau P ou tout autre porteur, par exemple un panneau de porte d'un véhicule automobile, avec des vis, des rivets F ou par soudage ou par tout autre moyen approprié. Lorsque l'on utilise des vis pour fixer le panneau P sur un autre support, celles-ci peuvent être placées par exemple dans quelques uns des rivets. According to the embodiment chosen, the piece of equipment may also comprise at least one of the following additional features, taken alone or in combination: the flexible layer is a layer of flexible plastic material; the piece of equipment comprises, in addition to the layer of flexible plastic material, a layer of flexible foam previously applied to the finishing coating and thus arranged between the finishing coating and the layer of flexible plastics material; advantageously, the finishing coating has already been manufactured with the layer of flexible foam. The object of the invention is further achieved with a motor vehicle comprising a piece of equipment as described above. Other features and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of an embodiment of the invention. The description is made with reference to the drawings of which FIG. 1 (single figure) shows a piece of equipment according to the invention in a partial perspective view with a view of the front face of the workpiece and the internal structure of the workpiece. . According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the piece of equipment, for example an armrest for the door of a motor vehicle, comprises a support 1 made of a rigid plastic material and having approximately the shape of the piece of furniture. equipment concerned, here an armrest intended to be mounted on the inner wall of a door of a motor vehicle. When the piece of equipment is finished, the support 1 is capped with a complex formed by a layer of a flexible plastics material 2, for example styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene (SEBS), giving the piece its shape. Specifically, a layer of a flexible foam 3 and a coating fabric 4, preferably a coated plasticized textile, which determines the aesthetic appearance of the piece of equipment, in particular by the leather appearance of this type of textile. The support 1 has respectively in its upper part and in its lower part, seen in the installation position of the piece of equipment, rigid raising elements, for example a portion 11 in relief and a rib 12, which extend areas of the piece of equipment that must be less flexible than the rest of the room. Thanks to this internal structure according to the invention, the piece of equipment comprises in fact three functional units, namely a flexible cap having the shape of the part and determining by the color and the structure of the coating, the aesthetic appearance of the piece, a relatively less flexible support than the cap and limiting the deformation of the cap, when someone is relying on the piece, and a rigid support preventing the deformation of the flexible support in places or in the parts of the room of equipment where the rigid support is in permanent contact with the flexible support. For the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings, this means that the piece of equipment comprises a cap comprising the textile coating 4 and the flexible foam layer 3, a relatively less flexible layer 2 made of a plastic material such that, for example, for example, SEBS, and a support 1 of a rigid plastics material. The rigid support 1 and the flexible layer 2 are attached to each other for example by riveting or welding. The prominence of the raising elements 11, 12 of the support 1 determines a spacing 6 between the rigid support 1 and the flexible layer 2, which corresponds to the flexibility left to the flexible layer 2 and therefore to the piece of equipment, in the selected areas. The piece of equipment is fixed on a panel P or other carrier, for example a door panel of a motor vehicle, with screws, rivets F or welding or by any other appropriate means. When using screws to fix the panel P on another support, they can be placed for example in some of the rivets.

En ce qui concerne la réalisation d'une pièce d'équipement selon l'invention, le procédé pour la pièce représentée dans les dessins est mis en oeuvre avec les étapes suivantes . - on place d'abord le revêtement de finition 4, muni ou non d'une couche de mousse souple 3, dans un moule ayant, en négatif, la forme que l'on souhaite donner à la pièce d'équipement, - on injecte ensuite sur le revêtement de finition, le cas échéant sur sa couche de mousse souple 3, une 20 couche de matière plastique souple 2, - on place sur la couche de matière plastique souple 2, dans la ou dans chacune des zones de la pièce qui doivent être moins souples, le support rigide 1 ou un support unique rigide 5 comportant le support rigide 1.With regard to the production of a piece of equipment according to the invention, the method for the part shown in the drawings is implemented with the following steps. the finishing coating 4, with or without a layer of flexible foam 3, is initially placed in a mold having, in negative form, the shape that it is desired to give to the piece of equipment; then, on the finishing coating, if necessary on its layer of flexible foam 3, a layer of flexible plastics material 2 is placed on the layer of flexible plastics material 2, in the or each zone of the part which must be less flexible, the rigid support 1 or a single rigid support 5 comprising the rigid support 1.

25 Ainsi, la pièce d'équipement selon l'invention est prête pour pouvoir être montée dans un véhicule. Thus, the piece of equipment according to the invention is ready to be mounted in a vehicle.
